I'm setting up a Vanguard account now!

Re: Stock Marketing is Killing it
 

it can just as easily go the other way. dont forget january 2016. many people lost a sh*tton...

Re: Stock Marketing is Killing it
 

I invested £5k (using a practice account) on one commodity today, which within a mattter of a few hours turned into £9k. I was kicking myself for not putting real money down. :rant:

Having said that, yesterday was appalling, nearly everything was in constant decline.

Half the time its a guessing game

You can do all the analysis you want but often it just comes down to luck and investing in the right place at the right time

Re: Stock Marketing is Killing it
 

If you are going with Vanguard, look into the Vanguard 500 Index Fund. It tracks the S&P. The index fund wont bring you glamour but over the long run it tracks the S&P top 500 companies.

I've had since since I was 18(36 now), and it follows the stock market. I have most of my investment money in it.

Re: Stock Marketing is Killing it
 

What goes up, must come down. Go short on this market.

Anyone want to share Stock Symbols :bird:

yotano211, I have the exact same strategy and have been doing this. You should PM me I would like to discuss it with you.

The recent gains appear to be based on speculation rather than real figures. The fact that Trump is a business man is getting a lot of investors excited. The market is overdue for a crash so there may be one coming up soon.

SHOP rocketed recently but leveling out. wish i had paid attention. it's just that dumping money into my business is actually guaranteed profits.

Re: Stock Marketing is Killing it
 

You are about 9 years to late. I dont really follow or do research on stocks anymore like when I was a stock analyst. Those days are long gone for me, I put money into index funds and let them do their magic over the long run. Today the only thing i have is that index fund and BRK.B.

It is good to do a range of things investments-wise ......

make sure you use 200 day moving average, to avoid big drawdowns when the inevitable next big correction comes....

Re: Stock Marketing is Killing it
 

I once tried to invest a little and lost £2.8 in an afternoon. After that I realised that my monkey brain is not ready for that kind of stuff yet.

I'll give it few years and perhaps educate myself next time, before doing dumb **** like that.

Re: Stock Marketing is Killing it
 

£2.80 or £2.8k?

Re: Stock Marketing is Killing it
 

An actual £2800

I was 19, I was retarded.

Re: Stock Marketing is Killing it
 

Actually, that part is questionable.

Re: Stock Marketing is Killing it
 

Having that much money to waste so young is impressive!

Re: Stock Marketing is Killing it
 

There will always be luck. The market is volatile. An average year with a mixed stock portfolio should net you 5-7% returns. But if you had investments across the S&P 500, you would have netted 12% in 2016.

Re: Stock Marketing is Killing it
 

The stocks that are making those go up so high, are typically the stocks that are already very expensive to get into.

Re: Stock Marketing is Killing it
 

I have no doubt it can go higher. But when the retail crowd starts getting into stocks is when I choose to exit. It is always the dumb money aka the retail crowd that ends up holding the bag.

As an Anarchist/Libertarian I tend to vote Republican even though I hate government. But if you look at market crashes in the US it tends to be when a Republican is in office and everyone is super optimistic about pro business policies giving each other high fives; which is exactly when the rug gets pulled out from under them. Just something to keep in mind.

I have stop losses on every stock I own. There is nothing wrong with taking a profit and having some funds on the sideline.

Re: Stock Marketing is Killing it
 

Learn to short and you can make money both ways...

Re: Stock Marketing is Killing it
 

Personally I don't have the knowledge the be a trader. I do know buying Put options would limit risk in that situation. But I do agree that traders don't care what way the market moves they love volatility.

Re: Stock Marketing is Killing it
 

for those who discussed mining (think it was on another stocks thread), some of it is not ethical, look at the chinese controlled african cobalt mining (for lithium battery production), kids are doomed to a life of slavery, particularly if they are orphans, and kids as young as 4 are working all day, not eating, in all weathers, I saw a sky news report, it was heart-breaking.......

Anyone short United Airlines stock? :eek:

Re: Stock Marketing is Killing it
 

[QUOTE=rsot;841555]Anyone short United Airlines stock? :eek:[/QUOTEalready swinging back up.

Re: Stock Marketing is Killing it
 

I dont think very many people shorted the stock as I doubt they saw such an impact coming? - I may be wrong.

But either way whoever waited to buy the stock when it plummeted has probably made a little fortune. It was bound to bounce back up with a measly apology from Airline.

Re: Stock Marketing is Killing it
 

They could have offered more money to convince people but they chose violence. F*ck this airline.

Re: Stock Marketing is Killing it
 

you do not have the right to refuse authority when getting randomly selected off a plane.

hope the convicted drug selling felon doesn't get a dime

Re: Stock Marketing is Killing it
 

Yeah, we will see what happens to the airline with this guy that " had no right" to not be force-ably kicked off a plane he paid for, boarded, and seated. It's one thing if he did something wrong. But the airlines overbook to make money, and they want to kick off a paying customer, because they screwed up and needed room for employees going somewhere?

People like you are what's wrong with society. You want to accuse him of being entitled, but give the airline a free pass. It would have been cheaper for them to charter a private flight for him ( every day for a year probably) than this mess.
